There seems to be some kind of clash between Dissent! people and these Christians… I see more a cultural clash than anything else. It is not easy to simply start working on a consensus based structure with no structure whatsoever, specially if you come from a hierarchical background – which we all do.
Hospital 2
Every time I see L play with his mum’s mobile, I think of how different childhoods mine and the next generation’s are. I took me fifteen years to see a computer for the first time of my life, and a few more to see a mobile phone.
Hospital 1
M* and her son are lucky that she can afford to be with his child all day, although there is a high price to pay, not in money, for that luxury.
Hospital
Last time I am interviewed by Caroline and Zara in the lunchtime show. Stayed for a few hours to cover the Studio Manager shift and, while doing so, M* calls from hospital because her son has had an asthma attack.

Tube 07
Last day of Tube Radio. Says O. that I have worked on the content quite well, and he is probably right; says Jose that a program like mine is un-swallow-able and he is probably more right.
Offspring
Got a friend with her son at home today. Children are great, if and when you can afford them. I don’t think humanity can afford to have children any more.
Marks
Got the feedback of one of my assignments, the article on squatters.I didn’t describe any particular squat and that has played well against my mark.
Efficiency
Today I had to fight with a company which, as far as I am concerned, is quite nicely taking the piss out of us. I now realize that even in the companies that do not have the call centre/customer services on the other side of the planet, the departments are totally separated, specially those most in contact with the client: the one actually producing the service and the one receiving our complaints and tantrums.
Audios IMF/WB
Today there was this lecture about international financial institutions in the Institute of Autonomy. So there I went after being, once more, studio manager in Tube Radio.
